Raleigh News & Observer bias watch - 2/28/06

Yesterday, there were two important economic news stories on the wires and in The N&O newsroom.

US economy set to roar back


and


Record set by number of unsold new homes

Now bearing in mind that the President usually gets credit or blame for how the economy's doing, did The N&O:

a) publish both stories

b) publish only one story

c) publish neither story


The answer is b.

And if your familiar with The N&O, your already saying to yourself, "Sure, and it was the poor housing story."

You're right.

And I'll bet you also know The N&O tells readers its news columns are free of political bias.
